Thanks guys! I took my time, got the prices/deals I liked, and it finally paid off. Now I'll tinker with upgrading for the rest of my life, but the set is finally complete!

Yes sir. I grew up in upstate NY and my father went to college and played baseball there. He captained the 1973 team while playing 2nd base. I ended up going to Hamilton College and playing baseball there. I played first base and captained the 2005 team.
We played SLU regularly. My Dad's senior year was his head coaches first year coaching. When I played against SLU he was still there coaching. Quite an impressive career. My father found out he retired a couple years ago. So he reached out to some old teammates and they held a reunion. At the reunion his current players presented him with the game ball from his last win. Then one of the guys from the 1973 team had a big surprise for him. The game ball from his first win! At first nobody remembered or knew why this guy had the ball. But it turned out that he was the starting pitcher for the coaches first game and he saved the ball because he threw a shutout. He had it over 30 years and passed it on to the coach who did so much for so many kids at SLU. Small D3 collegiate athletics at its best.

Great story Rob. There are a number of coaches that were at SLU for a long time. I only recognized the shirt as I graduated from SLU in 2002.
